An Incentive to Genius.
From, the Arkansa,c Traveller.


ut is socially dangerous to express such an
opinion said an old man, but did you ever
notice that the most successful men in nearly
all departments Of life are reformed drunkards?''
Il have noticed that great many Of them
are" some one replied, 'but that is no argu-
ment in favor of Temperance.
'Oh, no; but, on the contrary, it is an argyll
ment in favor of reformation
But unless aaan has been drlnkard how
can he reform?''
I'VE won't go into an argument of the finer
points of the case | make the assertion that
the most successful men in business, law and
literature are reformed drlnkards. 1t seems
that when man drinks until he becomes thor
oughly convinced that unless he changes his
course he will never amount to anything, he is
moved by power which sober men never feel,
and that he calls to his aid an ability which men
who have always been temperate cannot sum-
mon. He has to build up his character and his
business at the same time: and building up one
seems to help the other. Now, there was Hor-
ace Greeley"
He never drank"
what, Horace Greeley never drank?'
"Never took drink in his life"
well, Well take Daniel Webster"
webster didn't reform
what, Daniel Webster didn't reform?''

Kapiolani's London Visit.

Queen Kapiolani's visit to England is not
so much for the purpose of being present at
Queen Victoria's jubilee celebration in June
as to arrange little business matter. The
Hawaiian government sometime ago ar
ranged for loan from British capitalists of
of 81 10000 Somehow or other there were
two sets of bonds printed, one representing
the loan in dollars and the other in pounds
sterling, and both sets Were signed by the
King. Only small part of the loan has
been forwarded, owing to this bond complI-
cation. 1t seems also that the Queen is dis
satisfied with the commission charged by
those who effected the loan. 1t is 10 per
cent. of the whole amount. She hopes to
fix up this little loan matter aud hring The
balance of the money back with her. She
also wants to arrange with the British ship
owners for line of steamers from Hawaii
to the Pacific coast terminus of the Canadian
Pacific railroad She has her hands full of
business-so full indeed that she may have
to give less attention to shopping than she
would like to.
Claus Spreckels, who has long been known
as the sugar king of Hawaii, also sailed for
Europe on Wednesday He stated before he
started that he intended to keep his eye on
the Queen, and see that she didn't
waste her money Mr. Spreckels owns
about half the sugar plantations of Hawaii,
and is, of course, very much interested in
the way the islands are governed He SAYS
that the present government is unpopular,

isn't having everything his own way there
now, and perhaps that is the reason of this
| ill-natured criticism of the government. The
main reason, however, why he wants to pre-
vent the Queen from wasting her money in
Europe is that the Hawaiian government
owes him about s750,O00 and he expects to
get it out of the loan which the Queen is to
get in England. If he gets what he claims
is due him there will not be much left for
the Queen to go shopping with, "a a

have carefully travelled over the whole
lire" he says Il have formed an
opinion respecting the work and am
now in possession of correct data as to
the technical and practical work of the
canal. The annual report presented by
Count DeLesseps to the shareholders is
partial, and those of the detractors of
the enterprise are exaggerat d and
worthy no credit whatever" He states
that to complete the canal the enor-
nous sum of s508 100000 will be re-
quired. Senior Armero saws that it is
absolutely certain that it will be very
difficult to raise this tremendous sum
and that it is useless to deny that the
financial condition of the company is
serious and alarming. In conclusion
he states that traffic through the canal,
should it be completed, would be much
better than has been estimated.

What Am L To Dor

The symptoms of Biliousness ara un-
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom g
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and turred
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrbea or Constipation
may be symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemorr-
holds or even loss of blood. There may
be giddiness and often headache and
acidity or f1atuIence and tenderness in
the pit of the. stomach. To correct all
this if not effect cure try Green 8

Mr.. Nat Goodwin, after heating lot of

The Fashionable Hair Dresser.

But it was the Thompson wave'' which
caught the feminine eye with the most pleas
ure-the pretty waving front hair, which at
the time was seen above and close TO the eye
brows of every woman, old, young or middle
aged. 1t was not SO novel for women to pos
sess waving locks, but Mrs. Thompson had
invented something which held these locks to
the head-a simple continuance, which in its
way is complete. Next she invented the
"baby bang" little fringe of hair to
ornament the bald heads of babies, which
can be sewed in their bonnets Passing her
other inventions in hair, it is amusing to
hear her account of the manner in which the
somewhat prevailing style of wearing a loose
twist of hair at the back of the neck came to
be a la mode.
